Installing metal roofing is a very complicated and specialized installation which requires experience dealing with all aspects of metal roofing and the required flashing, especially around chimney, skylight and any other extrusions through the roof. With all the different forms of metal roofing systems to choose from including exposed fastener metal roofing systems with screw drill through each panel which includes rubber grommets on the screws and only provides a limited warranty. Second is the hidden fastener metal roofing system which the screws are covered at each overlap from the next metal roofing panel which provides and extend warranty. Third is the standing seam metal roofing system which the over lapped panels are seamed together with a mechanical tool which hems the panels together, this metal roofing system is the best on the market and provides a lifetime warranty.
When getting estimate for installing metal roofing, you really will need to talk with a couple of different metal roofing contractors until you find what you really want and can afford. Keep in mind that each contractor will have different ideas and will sell you the product he is familiar with, so be ready to ask questions about which product that they will be installing and ask for a copy of their insurance and references of local work completed. Once you find the metal roofing product and contractor you like and want to work with, go and see a job that the metal roofing contract has completed locally and look at the workmanship so you know what you can expect. When installing metal roofing some contractors use different application methods which can look less “desirable”. So take some and get a couple of estimate to see the different metal roofing option available.

Installing metal roofing will give a very different look to your home and add curb appeal if installed correctly, also if you live in a area which has season snow storm you will benefit from not having to shovel you roof because the roof will not hold the snow and ice. Over the past 25 year I have installed thousands of roofs and worked with many different roof lines and had to overcome some difficult transitions with specialized flashing and custom metal work.
